Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
布拉德皮特那段客串部分特别逗哈哈，全片搞笑担当了！其他几位主演，不知道为啥都莫名有点憨……
女性向爆米花片，用来打发时间还不错。让查宁塔图姆担任以前爆米花电影里“女配角”的角色卖卖肌肉，让Sandra Bullock负责主导，真棒。
时代变了 女性拥有头脑和理性 而有美貌和身材的男人负责柔软和甜美 哪怕是政治正确或是商业目的也很好 轻松的下饭片子 人老了就爱看点不动脑子还甜的 另:钱老板这身材跟cg一样无可挑剔
completely clichéd adventure plot, mediated by actually funny repartees.
爆米花电影，看着玩吧，就是惊讶于桑德拉布洛克这么大年纪了，还能出演这种角色，也没有特别违和。哈哈
二位加起来都100岁了，就别整这肉麻冒险爱情喜剧了吧。
虽然中途看睡着了 但是不是电影的锅 电影挺好笑的 是我好累以及recliner好舒服
两位加起来100岁了。。两星致敬两位半百老人。。看两位表演也算是童年回忆了。剧情什么的无所谓了，导演您随意，开心就好。
又蠢又无聊，又一部预告就是全部看点的片……
notime to die
为什么豆瓣分数那么低orz是我太久没在电影院里看这种类型的好莱坞爆米花大片了嘛，好容易满足，打个五星拉拉分。本来就喜欢寻宝题材，这部的笑点密集到整个厅充斥着我的笑声，简直笑到头掉。卡司如此炸裂，桑婆（真的看不出快60了）+钱老板（一出场的长发造型差点没把我送走）+哈利波特（反派的路上一去不复返）+布拉德皮特（刷完帅就便当了555），大家还一点都没包袱非常豁的出去。小岛风景很不错！有几个BGM很耳熟啊！
笑声连连，惊喜不断。乐风参考《浴血黑帮》、《毒枭》。是合格的爆米花电影。
怎么只要Daniel Radcliffe参演的电影都有股怪味…皮特真帅，他在的话真的看不进去塔图姆…
5/10 老掉牙的好莱坞套路剧作和一些性别笑话，即使以合家欢电影的标准来看也很一般。
离线完成时，并不知道只有英文字幕，找到一个中文，但又翻译很生硬，电影看了一大半实在忍不住，终于找到一个能看得下去的字幕。说实话，由于糟糕的字幕，让我觉得前面的剧情也很糟糕，好不容易，猜到剧情一定会去到丛林，然后只有在河流被水蛭爬上身的危险？水蛭还能随手一拿就拿走？非常儿戏。女主的脸，一直介于有点好看和不好看之间。感觉还是离远了，才会觉得女主不错吧。然后，丛林所在的地方，村庄那些人都会说英语？这么巧？电影最后，拉菲如果不把撬棍放在石棺里面。你们就无法打开石棺？这是不是太扯了？
情节设计套路化，甚至不如数年前的同类型影片，质量和成本都不及今年上映的《神秘海域》
反正后面我玩手机去了.这2人是不是都打针去了？钱老板看上去特别不自然
很好笑啊，都笑出声了，charning哈哈哈哈哈屁股哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈诱人啊哈哈哈哈哈哈
好一般的电影，粗制滥造像去年的《丛林奇航》。以为是冒险解谜类，结果只有冒险没有解谜。
总有一种桑德拉布洛克和布拉德皮特努力扶哈利波特的感觉
